Don't come the Raw Prawn !

[Lucky_Phill]

I was gobsmacked to see imported raw prawns for sale in a Gold Coast retail seafood outlet.

Given the recent White Spot Disease outbreak and the massive cost to clean it up, I would have thought this practice should be banned.

Unsure of the country of origin, due to no labeling, but !!!!!!!!!!!!

Next........ like who would pay $53.99 / kg for any prawn of any description ?

I think I read during the outbreak (but I could be wrong) that processed prawns (peeled) were OK, they do "things" to them when they are peeled, probably add some toxic waste? I don't really know, I do agree though, piss off any raw imported prawns entirely.

The same thing has happened in WA, importers have used there rules there to import green prawn and they have a white spot problem now as well, you would think that they would have learnt from the Logan river out break, but no know has learnt anything.
